Yeah, this is how businesses work. They provide what you are looking for at that moment. But to get you to come back, they “provide” other items and services for free to get that future business. This is a way businesses can be “long term” greedy. They’ll still make a profit because those additional costs are in the price of your original purchase.

However, you aren’t guaranteed that future business. So, businesses have moved to “short term” greedy by charging for everything else while keeping the original purchase price “competitive” or just as pricey.
